FLOW MAP

This is an image of a flow map, which is a type of line map. Flow maps may show:

• idealized locations of the travel path. When path is idealized, type of flow map is desire line map. Shows only general direction, not actual path.

This image is a map of the 1998 Combined Commodity Truck Flows including both domestic and international truck flows. This map shows the combined domestic and international (including cargos moving to or from border crossings or ports) truck commodity flow. For most flows, the majority of total truck activities are local, either within the state or neighboring states. The long distance corridors are used by both domestic and international freight.
